New Delhi: In a heartfelt message on her birthday, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta urged citizens to mark the occasion by planting a tree in their mother’s name, calling it the best birthday gift she could receive.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Gupta shared that she would be spending her birthday in her native village, and instead of greetings, she requested Delhiites to contribute to a cleaner and greener city.
“This year, I’m heading to my village on my birthday. I request everyone to plant a tree in your mother’s name on this day. That would be the greatest birthday wish for me,” she wrote.
She emphasized that the initiative is part of a public movement to make Delhi clean and beautiful under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
नमस्कार,

इस बार जन्मदिन पर मैं अपने गाँव जा रही हूँ।
आप सबसे आग्रह है कि इस दिन एक पेड़ माँ के नाम ज़रूर लगाएँ। आपका लगाया हुआ पेड़ ही मेरी जन्मदिन की सबसे बड़ी शुभकामना होगी।

The Chief Minister encouraged citizens to take a selfie with the planted tree and tag her official handle @gupta_rekha on X, promising to share the images on her social media platforms.
“Let’s come together to make Delhi green and flourishing,” she added, concluding her post with a motivational call to action.
The appeal aligns with the broader Swachh Bharat and environmental sustainability campaigns, as the Delhi government looks to ramp up public participation in eco-friendly initiatives.
